Joe Lewis

An exclusive golf resort is taking shape in the Bahamas as Lewis, 70, and his golfing pals Tiger Woods and Ernie Els develop the Albany Golf & Beach Club. He is also planning a 2,200-acre casino resort in Jamaica. London-born Lewis saw the potential from foreign exchange dealing and moved to the Bahamas in the 1970s. His Tavistock Group has interests in the Russian oil and gas industry. Among his property holdings are 8,000 acres in Florida.
